Pen Style Users Does it work with carts?

[PeteMcArthur]

All you regular pen style users out there, does yours work properly using carts? I've had a few and none wick fluid properly with carts. They have ranged from Kissboxes to the cheapest generics, all have the same problem. Now I still use them for dripping and they are great for that but I can fill a cart up and two draws later I'm tasting burning.
I know there are a couple of designs out there for cart mods which I'll try but I'm interested in whether any work well straight out of the box.

My generic penstyle works absolutely fine with carts giving plenty of vapour. My kissbox doesn't seem so good with them though. Loads of vapour if I drip, but not so much with the carts. I haven't had a burning taste though, so liquid is getting into the atomiser.

What I forgot to say was I've got a friend who really likes the form factor of the pen style so I'm looking for the best recommendations.

I got my penstyle from Electronic Cigarette | Free Yourself... | e-cigs Welcome and it's great with carts.

I suspect it'll vary atomiser to atomiser though.

Yes my best performers cart wise came from e-cigs but you are correct, it will change with the atomiser. I just got some generics from China and they are appalling, will not wick and the taste when dry defies description

it depends on what u mean by "work" pete.. i have never found anything that uses bigger carts to work what i would call properly.. except perhaps the ruyan bling but i think thats a wimp right from the word go.. but it does make its way a thru cart in its wimpish kind of low key way..

kind of work but not as good as when dripped is the best i would say.. it depends what the user calls "work".. this user says they dont work.. other users say they do work.. he he

i have always had to drip mine..

OK my definition of work is to be able to drain a cart to something approaching the level of a 901 can be drained to. I'm talking about normal use here, I would expect to get about 3-4 analogue equivalents out of a 901. By the difference in size I would hope to get say 5-6 out of a penstyle. I haven't managed that with any of mine, I would say they vary between 0 and 4

my take is a simple one.. the bigger the cart the worse it works as regard liquid making the trip from cart wool to atomizer.. the smaller carts drain okay the bigger ones dont.. the downside being small carts cost as much as big carts...

the perfect conventional e cig.. a 901 atomizer married to a classic battery.. sadly it hasnt dawned on the chinese to make one..

All our penstyles from Simon (BadSeed's link) work well with carts, but one of the atomisers is too narrow for some of the carts (the Apple fit but the Regular don't--go figure...) and I had to trim back the fibres of some a little with my hair-cutting scissors.

Now they're all working fine and I regularly refill them with my own juice. So, it could be practice or it could be that some carts just are a bad fit.

so as i usual pete when u ask a direct question here u get totally conflicting information and end up no wiser than when u started.. he he he he

as is the case with most forums.. which is why i read them but never ask questions.. he he

asking direct questions in forums is one of the least productive means of research there is.. odd really aint it..
